Is this using the browser's own JS engine? Do things like NoScript allow one to turn off PDF JS? On the flip side, are there any examples of PDF JS being actually useful and not a vector for tracking/exploits?
> Print updates: Margin units are now localized. Print in firefox is totally broken. The change to Chromium was the last nail in the coffin for printing. The new web does not care.

Can't find the video but there was a sec talk where the host would demonstrate a few horrendous ones.

Odd, this is the only place I accessed it from. Not a big deal as it's still on the context menu and also can be added as a tool bar item but I am curious the rationalization behind this change. That seemed like a great place to have it to me.
That's the first item listed under Features, yet I wouldn't classify that as a feature! That's a vulnerability waiting for an exploit.

I have an idea. Why not allow embedding a full browser engine inside of a PDF, complete with tabs and extensions? I hate having to leave Adobe Acrobat in order to read my Gmail, so I think this feature could be really useful. Anyone who builds a PDF can include their own custom browser that their users will love.
